The 2022 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship signed off at Ponte di Legno where Emma Bristow (Sherco), was crowned champion at the TrialGP of Italy!
Having lost her TrialGP Women crown at a dramatic final round of the series in 2021, Bristow had plenty to prove this season and she has conclusively done this with six wins from eight days of competition giving her an eventual winning margin of 12 points.
Establishing her dominance over title rival Berta Abellan (Scorpa) during the opening lap, the 31-year-old British rider led on eight – 10 ahead of the Spaniard – at the halfway stage.
On lap two Bristow added another 11 to her total but with Abellan parting with an additional 15 the win was never in doubt, and she claimed her eighth title in style with a 14-mark victory.
“It feels amazing,” said Bristow. “It was a big weekend and it’s great to get my eighth title – we’ve put a lot of hard work in this year, and I’ve stayed mentally positive as well knowing that my level’s there and that I can do it.”
Also contesting at the TrialGP of Italy was Kaytlyn Adshead in the Trial2 Women class and the win went to Kaytlyn Adshead (TRRS) who led from the get-go at the final round with her first lap total of seven earning her a six-mark lead over Bauml with Pechackova a further three adrift.
On lap two Adshead added an extra six to her total and with Bauml ending the day in second on 18 the British rider secured a career-first victory at this level and third place in the overall Championship standings.
